“Your Daily Dose” is a quick two minute read packed with bite-sized wisdom from all the great teachers. But you could also choose to turn it into something more… a powerful daily practice for personal growth. Give it a try!
A message from today’s meditation:
Anita Moorjani has been our teacher this week and I hope you’ll do yourself the favour of searching her name on YouTube and listening to some interviews with her.
She reminds us that we are not defined by our bodies, our accomplishments, or our possessions. Instead, we are interconnected with all of existence. This realization can be liberating, as it frees us from the limitations of our ego and allows us to embrace our true nature as infinite and divine beings.
Here are some of her thoughts that lead us into today’s meditation:
“I believe that the greatest truths of the universe don’t lie outside, in the study of the stars and the planets. They lie deep within us, in the magnificence of our heart, mind, and soul. Until we understand what is within, we can’t understand what is without.” – Anita Moorjani
“The universe is contained within us, and what we experience externally is only a reflection of that.” – Anita Moorjani
“We are not these bodies; we’re neither our accomplishments nor our possessions – we are all one with the Source of all being, which is God.” – Anita Moorjani
“In truth, I’m not my body, my race, religion, or other beliefs, and neither is anyone else. The real self is infinite and much more powerful – a complete and whole entity that isn’t broken or damaged in any way. The infinite me already contains all the resources I need to navigate through life, because I’m One with Universal energy. In fact, I am Universal energy.” – Anita Moorjani
While it can sometimes feel like our bodies have gone through so much, and that we carry the scars of the battles we’ve lived through – in Anita’s words, “the real self is infinite and much more powerful – a complete and whole entity that is not broken or damaged in any way.”
Your SOUL does not walk around in pain thinking about all the trauma that has happened, and while we should certainly not ignore the body and its scars, we have the freedom to choose where to find our identity – Am I identified with the body and all of its wounding, or am I being the expression of this SOUL?
It’s not an either/or situation, you do need to take care of your body. Love this body that has been fighting for each breath you take with every beat of your beautiful heart, and carries the scars to prove it. And then also do the “work” which leads to that deep surrender where it’s clear that who you are is this SOUL. That you ARE the universe expressing its SELF!
We are one with the source of all being, which is God. We are one with universal energy. In fact we ARE universal energy and the surest way to develop that connection more deeply, is with a regular practice of silence. By regularly engaging in meditation or contemplative practices, we can slow down the mind and tune into the inner wisdom that resides within.
Mantras for embodying your divine self:
- “I am more than my body. I am an infinite being.”
- “The universe is contained within me.”
- “I choose to embrace my infinite potential.”
- “Through silence, I connect with the divine within.”
So join us in today’s silent journey. Let’s fall into the depths of our being and discover the universe that resides within. By embracing the truths that lie deep within our hearts, we can unlock our true potential and live a life of meaning and purpose.
Have a beautiful Sunday.
Today’s LIVE meditation is: Finding silence.

Practice the “Daily Dose”
Let’s put it into practice! Choose what works for you – daily, once a week or whenever inspiration strikes. Putting pen to paper wires the neural pathways that will create your new habits.
1 – Affirmation
Write down your favourite affirmation on a sticky note and place it somewhere that you’ll be able to see it the whole day.
- “I am more than my body. I am an infinite being.”
- “The universe is contained within me.”
- “I choose to embrace my infinite potential.”
- “Through silence, I connect with the divine within.”
2 – A moment of reflection
Use today’s question as a journal prompt. If you don’t have the time to sit down and write, just take a moment to reflect on your response.
Identity Beyond the Physical: Reflect on the statement: “We are not these bodies; we’re neither our accomplishments nor our possessions.” Write about moments when you’ve felt most connected to something greater than your physical form or external achievements. What did that feel like? How might your life change if you truly embodied this understanding that you are infinite consciousness having a human experience?
3 – Quotes to share
Send a quote to someone who needs it, or share them all on social media to spread the good vibes!
4 – Q&A for deeper learning
Read through the questions and answers and write down at least one “aha moment” that clicked for you.
1. What does it mean that “the universe is contained within us”?
This concept suggests that rather than being separate from the cosmos, we are actually expressions of universal consciousness itself. Every quality, energy, and potential that exists in the universe also exists within us. When we look inward through practices like meditation, we’re not just exploring our personal psychology—we’re connecting with the same creative force that moves the stars and grows the trees. This understanding shifts us from feeling small and isolated to recognizing our inherent connection to all existence.
2. How can I be “more than my body” while still taking care of my physical health?
Being “more than your body” doesn’t mean ignoring or neglecting your physical form. Instead, it means recognizing that your essential self—your consciousness, your soul—is not limited by your physical experiences. You can love and care for your body while understanding that your true identity transcends it. This perspective actually enhances self-care because you’re nurturing your body as a sacred vessel for your infinite self, rather than seeing it as all that you are.
3. If I’m already “complete and whole,” why do I still feel broken or damaged?
Your infinite self—your true essence—is indeed complete and undamaged. However, your human experience naturally involves wounds, traumas, and limitations. The key is learning to operate from both perspectives simultaneously. Honor and heal your human wounds while also connecting with the part of you that transcends those experiences. This isn’t about denying your pain but rather not letting it define your entire identity. Your wounds are experiences you’ve had, not who you fundamentally are.
4. How do I access the “inner wisdom” that supposedly resides within me?
Inner wisdom is accessed primarily through silence and stillness. Regular meditation, contemplative practices, or simply sitting quietly without distractions allows your busy mind to settle. In this space, you can hear the subtle voice of your deeper knowing. Start with just 5-10 minutes daily of sitting quietly, focusing on your breath, and listening within. Over time, you’ll develop the ability to discern between mental chatter and genuine inner guidance.
5. What does it practically mean to be “one with Universal energy”?
Being one with Universal energy means recognizing that you’re not separate from the creative force that animates all life. Practically, this translates to understanding that you have access to unlimited resources for healing, creativity, problem-solving, and growth. Instead of feeling like you must struggle alone, you can tap into this greater energy through practices like meditation, spending time in nature, or simply remembering your connection to something larger than yourself.
6. How can understanding my “infinite self” help with daily challenges?
When you operate from the understanding that you are infinite consciousness, you approach challenges differently. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or powerless, you remember that you have access to unlimited inner resources. You’re less likely to seek validation or solutions solely from external sources. This perspective brings a sense of calm confidence and creativity to problem-solving. You begin to trust that you already contain what you need to navigate any situation.
7. Is this spiritual perspective compatible with religious beliefs?
This understanding of our infinite nature is actually at the heart of most spiritual and religious traditions, though expressed in different languages. Whether you call it God, Source, Buddha nature, or Universal consciousness, the core recognition is the same: there is something sacred and unlimited within us that connects us to the divine. Rather than conflicting with religious beliefs, this perspective often deepens them by providing a direct, experiential connection to what many traditions have always taught conceptually.
